August 24.: Folks, please accept my apology for the very
late sumary of this event. I was in
SV9
[KM35] during this opening [heard BC from mots of Europe in my
car while driving through the east of Crete Isl.] and when I came
back home late in the night of September 5th I lost most of the data
by accident. I transferred all your logs to a "sick" hard disk but
after 3 weeks of hard work I was able to restore each and every
log....lucky me.
Here we go with the last summer opening in 2005 which was
extraordinary long and pretty rare. 144 Es this late in August -
thats amazing, isn't it? Next time I'll be QRV in SV9, I promise
;-). Look for the impressive log of TA2/OK1MU. Pavel did a wonderful
job.

Quite surprising this late ES in August. Not the strongest signals
but with 2343km RK6MC is my single-hop-ODX now! All in all only
these two stations appeared here but anyway again two new SQRs and
glad to give UY2QQ a new country :-) Could finally test my MP3
recorder so enclosed are the two audios of the contacts. RIG:

Later hrd OZ stations. The pleasure was spoiled by LZ1QI with his
amplifier splattering all over the band. It was useless to call
the stations through that splatters so I only listened.
